Perfection In Artificial Limbs.

There is in P~ittsburg, Pa, a manutac-
turing company, every member of which
wears an artificial leg. Their limbs are so
perfectly made and are so heal like the
natural member that it is difficult to tell
that they are artificial. The company is
the Artificial Limb Manufacturing COM
pany, a corporation that has a national
reputation for the perfection of its work.
The limbs made at this mandatory are
the most perfect and satisfactory of any
made in the United States. Hon. W. w.
Dudley, e1-United States commissioner of
pensions, has for years worn a limb made
by this company, and adds his testimonial

The boom shows no signs ofabating,
and in fact is rather on the increase than
otherwise, although there is not so much
stir about it as there was ten days ago,

The Nnrthreslern Amin.

A letter was received in Cheyenne two
or three days ago from one of the high
officials o fthe Northwestern in which he
said in answer to a question upon the
point in regard to the Northwestern
coming to Cheyenne, 1 can only say that
the Burlington & Missouri and others are
crowding US along with them, and such
being the case do not be surprised if you
hear the Northwestern whistle blowing in
Cheyenne even ahead of the Burlington
& Missouri" There is another thing
which might be mentioned here, and that
is this: The Northwestern authorities
have accumulated an immense amount
OF railroad iron, ties, etc., at Chadron,
and the question is, what does it mean ?
If the material is 10 be used in extending
the line west to Douglas, why unload it
at Chadron, for in that event it will have
to be loaded again upon the cars. and
railroads do not do any more unnecessary
work than they are obliged to. Do not be
surprised to hear any day that the North
western has filed its articles for an extern
sion Of their line from Chadron or some
other point to Cheyenne.

A great many trees are being procured
and set out by our citizens this spring, in
fact, more han during any previous
spring in the history of the city. Most
of those who are purchasing trees are get
ting very small ones, as they claim from
past experience that trees of this class do
much better than those of a larger growth.
The more trees our citizens set out on or
around their grounds the more valuable
their property will become, and in time
they will be amply convinced that they
acted wisely IN so doing.

ACTIVE OPERATIONS.
The Burlington & Missouri Engi-
neers Arrive in Cheyenne.
Operations Begun Yesterday East
of the City.

A large party of Burlington 4 Missouri
engineers arrived in Cheyenne on Sunday
evening and established their ~headquar-
tiers for the line being at the Dyer hotel.
The party is in charge of j. /. Wells,
chief engineer on this end of the Burling-
ton & Missouri line, and with him were
A. Burns, r. A. McFadden, G. G. Lewis,
4. w. Bishop. G. G. Ramsey, L! r.
Panerv, Robert McFadden, c. N. French,
d. Mason, Frank Rener and others, all of
the Burlington & Missouri railroad. At
an early hour yesterday morning Engineer
Wells procured the services of two or
three home men and teams, and with his
party proceeded to the eastern border of
the city aud at once commenced active
operations, and although the day was a
very unfavorable one the party continued
to work for the greater portion of the day,
returning to Dyer's in. the evening.
The first thing to be done by the engr-
neers, as they explain, is to run a line
from Cheyenne in an easterly direction to
connect about four miles from the city
with the line which on a former survey
was completed to that point. This work
will not take very long, and after that it is
understood that the party will have much
other work to do in the vicinity of Chey-
enne and along the line leading eastward,
and it is probable that the headquarters of
the party will be at or near Cheyenne for
some time.
1t is the intention of the party to estab-
lish a camp a short distance east of the
CITY, and this, it is presumed, will be done
as soon as a desirable site is selected. Col.
Allen, who has the contract for grading
for thirty miles from Cheyenne eastward.
is expected to return to Cheyenne from
Laramie City to-day, and there will soon
be an opportunity given to obtain en-
ployment on the grade, both for men and
leans. 1t is probable Contractor Allen
will sub.let a portion of the thirty miles of
which he now has charge.

The Burlington & Missouri.

Anyone who will take the trouble to
examine the map at the Office of the
Cheyenne Gas company, on Ferguson
street. will see where the proposed route
of the Burlington & Missouri from a point
in Southern Nebraska to Cheyenne lies.
1t runs in a northwesterly direction 10
Sterling, COL, and from hat point in
nearly the same direction until it reaches
this city. After leaving Cheyenne, the
road will run in a northerly direction for
some distance, but will eventually defect
somewhat to the right so as to connect
with the main northern line, which from
Broken Bow has already been run to a
point about fifty miles east OF the Wyo-
ming line. When completed and in run
ming order, this will give to Cheyenne not
only another line of communication with
the East, but with the Cheyenne & North
ern in operation two lines of communica-
ton with the northern country also. Tho
Burlington & Missouri from Cheyenne
northward will run through an exceeding
ly fine country which . very well adapted
to agricultural pursuits ana viii ho tribu-

Feeding to Advantage.

There are many farmers who seem
not to realize how much they lose during
the year that little forethought would
prevent. They will admit that the way
in which they feed a certain lot of pigs,
for instance, wastes some of the food,
but appear to think that the loss is so
little each day that it does not amount
to any thing. They would be surprised
if they should ascertain how large a
sum represents at the end of the year
the total of these small losses each day.
Providing better feeding place to save
the food wasted, and giving better
shelter that will effect saving in the
amount required to keep the pigs gain
ing, will in many places save u hand
some sum during the year.-NdtionaL

HOW TO PROSPER.
The Glass of Farm ers Who Are Successful
and, in Consequence, Contented.

The Glass of Farm ers Who Are Successful
and, in Consequence, Contented.
The prosperous farmer, like every
other business man, is he who takes
advantages of circumstances to get the
most he honestly can out of what he has
to sell. Not all business men follow
the golden rule to do unto others what
would be desired of them. Not all
farmers do this, yet the golden rule is
best in the long run. Why? A mans
probity in dealing not only insures re-
spect, but enables him to get better
prices than he who does not strictly re-
gard his word.
The man honorable in his dealings
may be man as keen in his bargains
or in getting prices as he who does not
strictly regard his word. He is more
apt to figure closely in personal ex-
penses, while at the same time being
liberal in all things. He is apt to feed
closely and at the same time fully. He
saves by attending closely to the COM
fort of his stock. No depreciation is
allowed to take place in buildings and
sheds. His farm machines, wagons and
implements never suffer from undue
contact with the weather. Every thing
has place, and all labor is perfcrniad
at the proper time. He does not UNDER
take work out of season, but in season
he drives his work; it never drives him.
He hires only the best help, treats his
workmen courteously, and hence always
gets the best-and keeps it. His work.
men may advise, but never. dictate to
him.
When a crop is ready for the market
it is promptly sold if the price suits. If
not, it is held until the price is satisfac-
tory. A crop, however, or animals,
are not held for speculative prices. He
well knows the cost of holding crop,
and the loss on animals from feeding,
while holding from the market when
fat.
The prosperous farmer is reading
man. He keeps himself posted on hi.
business through journals devoted to
his profession. He may not get rich
suddenly, but he does not fail, except
from some unavoidable disaster Are

ROMAN FARMING.
Lessons which the Husbandman OF To-
daY MAY Draw From Ancient Writings.

Lessons Which the Husbandman OF To-
day May Draw From Ancient Writings.
The 'riews of the early farmers as to
how much land man could cultivate
TO advantage, were very different from
the beliefs of farmers of our day. When
agricultural practice began to assume
shape, the ruler then in power, believ-
ing two acres as much as the head OF
one family could till, divided the land
IN this basis. Cincinnatus, seeming to
have been considered better farmer
than the average, four acres were allot-
led to him, and it was from these four
acres that he was called to the dictator
ship. When but few acres were cult
vated-as in the case of the Romans
it was considered a very great honor
to be an agriculturist, especially when,
coupled with the term, it was said of a
man that he was a good husbandman.
1t was esteemed very high praise to be
spoken of in the manner referred to.
Those who imagine that at very early
day there was no agricultural litera-
ture, will see their mistake when
we cite the fact that Cato in the
second century (B. CO., Virgil at
the beginning of the Christian era, Col
umella and Pliny but short time subse-
quent, and Palladius in the second and
third century, each wrote work upon
agriculture, all of which are, with one
exception, still preserved. Flowing was
usually performed by two oxen, soniS,
times three abreast, and the land was
plowed three times-sometimes in the
case of stiff soils, as many as nine times
before the seed was permitted to be
sown. Strange as it may seem to many
who have been taught to look back upon
the farmer of that day, as no better
than q Hindoo, SO far as his farming
was concerned, it was the custom to
pillow nine inches deep. When farmer
plowed only three inches deep it was
called, by way of derision, scarifying.
1t was customary to fallow the land
every second year. The seed was Sc
lected with great care, and in many in
stances the land plowed in ridges, OF
burrows, the better to facilitate remov-
ing weeds, which were taken out by the
hoe or pulled by hand. The cattle were
trained while young, that their portion
of the work might be done skillfully.-

Have you found some of your fowls
with one side of the head swollen up?
If you examine you will probably find
that the affected fowl sleeps in a
draught; probably there is crack in
tho side of the building, and the bird
roosts in position where the draught
strikes the side of the head Shut up
the crack and battle the fowls head
with coal oil and lard, and all will be
well in few days.-M B. Farmer.
